Yes this one works with 12 Volts. The supplied adapter is a bit higher than that but perhaps there is a regulator in the device. I have a couple of adapters, the one it came with and one that I can use when traveling to 220 volt areas.

Sorry, does that mean that if a buy a 1150 I can use any 12V charger to charge it ?

Pretty much. You need a 12V, 1 Amp (or more) charger for best results. Smaller chargers won't provide enough juice. The connector is a bit unusual so it can be hard to find the connector. Radio shack has some universal adapters. You need a connector with center + voltage. Of course the one that it comes with works fine for 110 Volts and my experience is that it is a little higher than 12 V and charges quicker than my Coby. The wiki has some information. I just grabbed the link from there: http://www.millionbuy.com/cbycav1.html for a universal charger that I use as my secondary charger.

Thanks a lot Dale, I should have somewhere one of those universal chargers, with an adapter to invert plug polarity at need.

OK, at the risk of sounding wifey, let me share a tip. I use tailings of sheets of printer labels, like when you print 27 of 30 and left with 3 odd labels on the sheet. Those are like treasure to me! I take them home, and every time we get a new gadget, I write the name of the gadget and stick the label onto the charger somewhere. Also, if I bring spare chargers to work and leave them in my desk, it's good to have my own personal cords labeled.

YES, very good idea!

I usually just hole punch a "spare" label and use the circle "punch out" to attach to the adapter and write a small message as to it's owner! Works like a charm (and good for failing memories...)

That makes me feel less goofy about the Brother P-touch labels on all of my wall warts.
